Happy Wednesday, friends! I’m excited to be here today to chat about our quick day-trip this past weekend to Lake Somerville. One of my favorite things about Aaron – is that he is always up for adventure. And because of that, I’ve had the opportunity to be witness to tiny gems in the world that I wouldn’t have thought to…

Explore Your Own Backyard: Houston Rodeo
Happy Wednesday. I really hope that some of you are on a Spring Break. And, whether that means that you are having a staycation filled with relaxation – or traveling somewhere to make some new memories, I hope it’s everything you need it to be. One of the worst parts about adulting, is not having a spring break. March is…
Explore your own backyard: Biking Buffalo Bayou
I’ve done a couple of these posts about exploring some fun things to do in your own backyard. And today, I thought it would be fun to talk about one of my favorite things to do in Houston: biking. Houston might not seem like it would be a city filled with bike trails, but it has miles upon miles of…
Explore your own backyard: Anahuac, Texas
I haven’t done one of these in awhile, so I thought it would be fun to talk about a place that’s about an hour away from Houston: Anahuac, Texas. In this series I talk about places that are relatively local to Houston that you can get to and from in a day. You can read the rest of those posts…
Explore your own backyard: Brazos Bend State Park Edition
Happy Friday, friends. I made it through a wildly busy week. I can’t say much about this yet, but we have a huge project coming up at work, and things are amping up very quickly. On top of that, Aaron and I do have a trip planned to St. Louis at the end of the month for business – and…
Explore Your Own Backyard: Houston Zoo Lights Edition
So, the fun thing I mentioned at the end of yesterday’s post, was actually postponed due to the rain. Now, if that isn’t on brand for 2020, I don’t know what is. I’m sure you are all on pins and needles waiting to hear what the fun event was (cue the sarcasm), so I’ll go ahead and tell you. It…
Explore Your Own Backyard: California Edition
Good morning, friends, and Happy Wednesday! First off, I want to wish a very happy Veteran’s Day to those who have proudly served our country. My husband served in the Marine Corps, and my father-in-law served in the Army. Thankful for those who have given up their freedoms so we can have ours. They are two of the bravest people…
Explore your own backyard: Houston Arboretum & Nature Center
In case you missed my first post on exploring your own backyard, you can find that here. I’m back today with another local gem that was about two-miles away from where we were living. In fact, I drove right by it every week, but in the four years we lived near Downtown, we never once explored the Houston Arboretum and…
Explore your own backyard – Memorial Park Eastern Glades edition
I’m sure that 2020 will go down in the books as a year none of us will ever forget. When the ball dropped to close out 2019, I don’t think any of us foresaw living through a pandemic. Now, I’m a pretty optimistic person, but I’ve had my days this year where I got in my feels and started putting…
Friday Favorites: the perfect summer week
Happy Friday, Friends! It’s hard to believe that it’s not technically summer yet, because it sure feels like it. We got our July vacation on the books several months ago, and I thought I had tons of time, but I’ve spent my evenings this week trying to get my ducks in a row so we can leave for a several…
